WHAT CAR IS THIS...?

This seemed to be a good Generic What Car is This Thread...so:

What cars are in this shot? I took this last week from an airplane landing, and I think it's a Hyundai Tuscon (well, about 400 of them), but I'm not quite sure.



Thanks, I like to know these things.

Those are Hyundai Santa Fe Sports. If you look at the light color ones, you can see the kink going up starts in the middle of the rear door, and the Santa Fe Sport is the only SUV in Hyundai's US lineup what that kink starting there.

Who can say what car is this? I think Alpine A310 but it is not match
 
Only is Passat rhymes with shot... which it very-doesn't :D
We (everyone I know, anyway) pronounce it with an umlaut over the second a (ä), just as we do "shot." So there. :D

It's not a match to the A310 because it very much is not an A310--about the only similarities are its wedge shape and the engine being located in the rear.

It's an Embeesea Eurocco--a Beetle-based kit car produced in very low volume (I'm given to understand it was limited to just three examples) in the early '80s--and it likely would have been best left to rot in a field rather than be snatched up and cobbled together by someone who I imagine wears backwards caps and gold chains, and needs to pull up his pants.

Looks like a mashup of a Dodge Omni 024 with a Lamborghini Jalpa; rather simple, even elegant in design, and period-correct. Though kit cars tend to vary by the skill and available materials of the assemblers, this looks rather okay (except for the wheel/tire choices and ride height).

Yeah, no, I find the Eurocco quite attractive, and I'm given to understand all of Mike Carlton's early kits were very well built (but expensive). The Eurocco is probably my favorite as it was very conventional, but I also appreciate his Chepeko with its gullwing doors.

I always prefer original design kits to "replicars" ("replicas" implies they are faithful to the original, which they very much are not in nearly every instance), even if they take cues from existing designs.
